Besides weather, the World Cup is kind of a huge part of my life right now, and having chosen Italy to support from the start, I'm a little POed that both my chosen country and birth country are out of the running. I'm still having a great time watching (and learning about) soccer though. Even if I have to retire my italian flag-cape after only 1 usage.
Oh, and I'm teaching my students about 4th of July this week, and guess what? It's hard to explain an Independence Day to a country who's never been colonized by a western power. When I tell them that we set off fireworks and eat hot dogs and wave flags, they stare back at me with a face that reads, "so? we do that shit everyday in thailand." fair enough.
